Color that Packs a Punch- Qor's Mini Palette Delivers High Saturation Chroma
Trans Pyrrole Orange, Dioxazine Purple, Sap Green, Payne's Grey
Nickel Azo Yellow, Quin Magenta, Pthalo Blue, Burnt Umber
Cad Yellow Primrose, Pyrrole Red Med, Ultramarine Blue, Trans Brown Oxide
If your major complaint about watercolor is it isn't saturated enough or doesn't pack enough color, Qor's got a palette that will single-handedly prove you wrong.
Qor is well known for their vibrant, vivid watercolors- particularly their blues. This is due to the use of Aquazol over Gum Arabic as a binder, as Aquazol is clear rather than yellow. Last year, Qor introduced a half pan travel palette, and this vivid little palette has quickly become one of my favorites.
In a compact, pocket sized form, the Qor palette includes 12 colors:
Cad Yellow Primrose
Nickel Azo Yellow
Transparent Pyrrole Orange
Pyrrole Red Medium
Quinacridone Magenta
Dioxazine Purple
Ultramarine Blue
Pthalo Blue
Sap Green
Transparent Brown Oxide
Burnt Umber
Payne's Grey
All of which are super saturated, and deliver quite a punch.
If you're used to traditional watercolor palettes, this palette will take some adjustment but if you enjoy painting florals, or want generous pigment and quick activation from your pocket watercolors, the Qor Mini Palette is a great addition to your studio.
I reviewed these watercolors on my channel awhile back, and I highly recommend you watch both videos! The unbox and swatch is a deep dive into the watercolors and the brand, the field test is a step by step tutorial that explains how to use these paints.
